LB officers attend INTERPOL Regional Conference
Headed by Mr Hu Xin, Division Chief of the National Central Bureau (NCB) China of the Ministry of Public Security, three Liaison Bureau (LB) officers, Superintendent (SP) Yuen Chi-kin, Woman Senior Inspector Chan Ching-yin and Police Constable (PC) Cheung Shing-keung, joined the NCB China Delegation in attending the INTERPOL 10th Asian Contact Officers' Meeting in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, from March 28 to 30.
Other members of the Mainland delegation included contact officers from the Public Security Bureaus in Shanghai, Yunan, Guangxi and Guangdong, as well as officers from the Macau Judiciary Police.
The meeting, which attracted 38 contact officers from 20 NCBs in Asia and South Pacific Region, provided a platform for the officers to discuss future challenges and common problems and to enhance the liaison network within the Region.
At the meeting, SP Yuen briefed the participants on the structure and functions of INTERPOL Hong Kong, China and its co-operation with INTERPOL member countries in fighting transnational crimes, giving the audience a better idea of the work of the Force as a Sub-bureau of NCB, China. The delegation also met with INTERPOL General Secretariat staff to discuss the latest INTERPOL initiatives and development of regional co-operation.
Being the first Junior Police Officer attending international meeting of this kind, PC Cheung said: "As an Assistant Liaison Officer of LB, I often communicate with my overseas counterparts on phone or with e-mail on matters related to investigations, visits and training. The meeting gave me a valuable opportunity to talk face to face with my counterparts and to gain mutual understanding at personal and working levels. It has enhanced co-operation and the existing liaison network."
